Chapter 857 - A Mouthful of Lies (1/2)

“Yixuan, tell Daddy. How did your Auntie Song’s injury come about?”

“I…” Xia Yixuan hesitated. Her hesitation made Xia Mingzheng’s face tense up, and his voice became stern. “Yixuan, tell Daddy honestly. What is all of this about? Is it related to you?” When he said this, he got a shock himself. He was really afraid; he hoped that the matter had nothing to do with Xia Yixuan. If not, he would not even know how to protect this daughter of his.

“Yixuan, tell Daddy the truth. There’s no outsider here.”

It was obvious that he wanted his daughter to spill the beans. Actually, he had no other intentions. Even if this thing was really related to his daughter, he would think of all sorts of ways to protect his daughter.

Just that, how could Xia Yixuan say the truth? Even if it was to Xia Mingzheng, she would not say a single word of it. For this matter, she would not mention it to anyone; even if it rotted in her stomach, there would not be a second one that knew about it.

Her eyes flashed, and she held onto Xia Mingzheng’s arm tightly.

“Daddy, what nonsense are you saying? How can this thing be related to me? Didn’t you already see? I’m the victim, too.”

Xia Mingzheng furrowed his brows and did not actually believe her. “Then, how did Song Wan get injured?”

“Isn’t it done by the daughter of the woman you brought back?” Xia Yixuan was very smart, and she understood how a human’s mind worked, especially Xia Mingzheng’s. She knew what to say to make Xia Mingzheng believe her without a doubt.

“What has this got to do with Ruoxin?” Once Xia Mingzheng heard it, he knew who Xia Yixuan was referring to. If it was not Xia Ruoxin, who else could be the daughter of that woman? Also, he did not quite like how Xia Yixuan called Shen Yijun.

“Yixuan, no matter what, she’s your mother.”

“My mother died a long time ago; that’s my auntie.” Xia Yixuan interrupted Xia Mingzheng. The more she hated Xia Ruoxin, the more she heated Shen Yijun. What mother? Her mother had died not long after giving birth to her. She was at most a stepmother and the mother of that b*tch who stole Brother Lui. If they did not enter their family, Brother Lui would still be hers. It was this mother and daughter that hurt her.

“Yixuan!” Xia Mingzheng’s voice was cold. Since when did this child become so rude?

“Okay, fine.” Xia Yixuan did not talk about this matter anymore. However, she held Xia Mingzheng’s arm tightly. “Dad, you must be careful of that auntie.” Now, she did not want to call Shen Yijun ‘Mommy’; anyway, she was never her biological mother.

“What’s the matter?” Xia Mingzheng really felt that Xia Yixuan was speaking nonsense.

Xia Yixuan stood up, took a look outside before sitting back down beside Xia Mingzheng. Then, she held his arm.

“Daddy, you really need to be careful of auntie. You don’t know how scary Xia Ruoxin is. Really.” She shuddered. “I have never seen such a scary woman in my life. She had even stabbed Auntie Song with the fruit knife and took it out. Back then, Auntie Song was bleeding quite a bit, and her intestines almost came out. It was so green and weird; it was the first time I saw someone’s intestine.”

She described it as though it was the truth, which made Xia Mingzheng’s stomach feel uncomfortable. Hurriedly, he pushed Xia Yixuan away, covered his mouth, and ran into the washroom.
